### Do not use this command in QPix v3 or later

This command is preserved in QPix v3 for backward compatibility reasons. Image meta-data support is now provided by the image tag commands.

Some file formats contain non-image data, commonly called "meta-data". This command extracts meta-data from an image file.

The image file is specified by imagePath. If imagePath is empty, a file selection dialog is presented.

The metaData are returned in two arrays, metaTypes and metaData. The metaTypes array holds the types of the metaData; 4-character strings, identifying the kind of the metaData. The metaData text array holds the data itself.

Different image file formats support different kinds of metaData and have different ways of identifying them. QPix defines the following constants:

qpx_MetaArtist | "©ART" | Artist name meta data
qpx_MetaAuthor | "©aut" | Author name meta data
qpx_MetaComment | "©cmt" | Comment meta data
